About Susan
Susan Scott is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) in Texas with 13 years of clinical experience. She works with people who are navigating relationship struggles, family conflict, parenting stress, and changes that come with major life transitions. Her practice also addresses low self-esteem, anger, depression, and compassion fatigue.
She uses concrete, skills-based approaches in session. That can include looking at unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, as well as focusing on emotions and how they shape interactions. She also uses motivational interviewing to clarify goals and find practical next steps.
Susan pays attention to how attachment and blended family dynamics affect communication. She helps clients sort through issues such as caregiver stress, divorce and separation, jealousy, and workplace strain. Sessions center on clear problems and tangible strategies rather than vague theory.
In early meetings she will listen to the specific concerns and outline a straightforward plan. That plan may include short-term skills for managing mood and anger, plus longer work on relationship patterns and forgiveness when needed. She aims to keep sessions focused and actionable.
Clients can expect direct conversation about what is working and what isn’t. Progress is tracked through small, measurable steps like practicing a new communication skill or testing a changed thinking pattern. This approach is intended to make everyday life easier to manage while addressing deeper relational patterns.
Using CBT and emotion-focused work in online sessions
Online sessions can deliver the same practical skills work Susan uses in person. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice automatic thoughts, test whether they are accurate, and try different behaviors to change outcomes. CBT is useful for mood issues, anxiety, and unhelpful patterns in relationships.Emotionally-Focused Therapy concentrates on how feelings shape interactions and attachment. That approach helps when communication breaks down or when people want to repair trust and closeness. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and reducing impulsive reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Susan will review your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Decisions about pace, skills practice, and when to shift focus are made together so the therapy fits your needs.
Confirm current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or choose sessions that are shorter when needed. These practical benefits can help maintain momentum while learning new ways of thinking and relating.
